Evaluating cytotoxic effects of recombinant fragaceatoxin C pore forming toxin against AML cell lines
Objective(s): Current therapeutic strategies for cancer are associated with side effects and lack of specificity in treatments. Biological therapies including monoclonal antibodies and immune effectors have been the subject of multiple research projects. Pore-forming proteins may become the other biological strategy to overcome the problems associated with current treatments. But detailed mecha...
متن کاملPotentiation Effect Of 5FU by Fragaceatoxin C Pore-Forming Toxin in MCF-7 Cell Line
Introduction: Chemotherapy has been restricted due to the high-dose side effects. In the present study, acceleration of the chemotherapeutic drug (5FU) entrance into MCF-7 cells has been explored by using a recombinant form of Fragaceatoxin C (FraC) pore-forming toxin. Methods: In this experimental study, the gene for FraC toxin was order from a commercial source and was sub-cloned into pET28a...
متن کاملPore Formation in the Stretched Lipid Vesicles
In this paper I have studied the transbilayer pore formation in a stretched lipid vesicle. The pore appearance in spherical bilayers is a process more intricate then in plane lipid bilayers. Here we have studied the influence of the elastic stretching of the membrane on the pore appearance. A minimum value of the spherical surface extension corresponding to a membrane stretching is required in ...
متن کاملPore formation in lipid membranes by alamethicin.
The conformation of the linear peptide antibiotic alamethicin in dipalmitoyl phosphatidylcholine multilayers was investigated in the absence of an electric field by means of infrared attenuated total reflection spectroscopy. Alamethicin was found to be incorporated into the lipid membrane not only in the dry state but also in an aqueous environment. Its molecular conformation, however, changed ...
متن کاملsimulation and experimental studies for prediction mineral scale formation in oil field during mixing of injection and formation water
abstract: mineral scaling in oil and gas production equipment is one of the most important problem that occurs while water injection and it has been recognized to be a major operational problem. the incompatibility between injected and formation waters may result in inorganic scale precipitation in the equipment and reservoir and then reduction of oil production rate and water injection rate. ...
